“What a pleasure it is again to witness a group of artists working their stuff with such vigor and intelligence.”

“Feels like a mashup of Sam Shepard, Tracy Letts, and Harold Pinter. …remarkable naturalistic dialogue and plotting… raw, visceral theatre that engages the gut and the brain. Derek Ahonen’s talent as a playwright is very impressive.”
